Cannon Printer My Pixma MP530 is printing in very small print. Went to print checks from Quickbooks and print was so small it did not go in the appropriate place so I had to void all the checks. Also, When I print e-mails they also print extremely small.

It seems to be a possible driver problem and is still not fixed. And the printer should be still under warranty and I should be able to get free tech support.

Do I need to reinstall or is there a simpler plan to get this printer working correctly.

No free tec support, you could try ringing who ever you bought it from or local canon dealer and you may strike a friendly, but warranty is for printer malfuntion and you on the other hand seem to be having software/driver issue.

If you look where the paper comes out of the printer you may find the cd tray is down (a small plate lying horizontally) flick this up to vertical until it clicks in place. Hopefully this is your problem

how about printing? is it also doing it on printing? if it is only on the copier's end, you may need to send it to cannon for servicing unfortunately. You have done everything you can, some mechanical problem may be causing it.

On your nozzle check, do you see the grid at the top (indicated by red arrow in picture below)? If you don't see this, your pigment black nozzles aren't working. The black bar at the bottom is from the dye black nozzles (small black tank). You may have either plugged nozzles or a bad print head.

Cannon printers are notorious for clogged print heads using aftermarket ink. This has happened to me many times before I switched brands. Cannon won't even replace the printer if they find out that you didn't use Cannon ink. Epson and Brother have very good compatibility with aftermarket ink. Kodak are good as well. I recommend these because the cost per page is lowest with these printers AND I use them with great success.

I went to the cannon website but I don't know the type of printer it is.
Your solution is to download and install the print driver that matches the new operating system VISTA? tha tthe new computer has.
